keebrev 18th Jan 2017		Classical Item Aram Khachaturian Conducting The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra - Spartacus, Gayaneh (1963)	Although the SXL6000 series started on September 1962, the first issues were in October of that year (SXL6001 - 6003) as a successor of the SXL 2001 - 2316 serie (Decca Classical by Philip Stuart) "Spartacus" was the music of the seventies TV-series "The Onedin Line", with Peter Gilmore as capt. James Onedin
keebrev 14th Jan 2017		Classical Item Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Gerald Moore - Winterreise, Op 89 (D.911) (1963)	Unfortunately not. It is a re-release, under ALP.1298/1299, year of issue is 1958. This record is a later release, a resale issue as the text in the perimeter says. But I do what you're doing too....Keep my peepers open......:)
keebrev 13th Jan 2017		Classical Item Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Gerald Moore - Winterreise, Op 89 (D.911) (1963)	The recording [YouTube Video]
keebrev 13th Jan 2017		Classical Item Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Gerald Moore - Winterreise, Op 89 (D.911) (1963)	Just read the "Winterreise" book written by Ian Bostridge. Amazing. Now you listen to the music and lyrics from another view. Beautiful interpretation of the work. Although it was really cold in those days because of the eruption of the Tambora vulcano in the Dutch East Indies (there was no summer in 1816), the lyrics ofWilhelm Müller are about the struggeling in men's life.
keebrev 10th Jan 2017		Classical Item Various Artists - Decca Klassieke Keur Kollektie In Stereo	The music pieces on this record are from records released in Spring 1965.

keebrev 2nd Dec 2016		Classical Item Emil Gilels - Beethoven-Sonaten (1983)	Nice, DGG site!. Well, the date must be corrected to 15-3-1983 then. Thanks!

See here Recorded on June 1955, at the Jesus-Christus-Kirche in Berlin-Dahlem
keebrev 10th Nov 2016		Classical Item Kathleen Ferrier - Classical Cameos	No, all Dutch Decca issues are coloured blue. Sometimes they used UK sleeves, like this one.
keebrev 29th Oct 2016		Classical Item Sir Adrian Boult - Vaughan Williams	PhilMH, This one I presume?
keebrev 23rd Oct 2016		Classical Item Phlladelphia Orchester - Nussknacker Suite, Op. 71a (1935)	The HMV-UK release is here to find.
keebrev 8th Oct 2016		Classical Item Philharmonia Orchestra, London - Das Land Des Lächelns	Well, the four first digits could be a date, december 1979. But I don't know for shure, because there is no other date mark on the record or inner sleeve. No P in a circle with a date or something like that. Only the recording dates, somewhere in 1953.
keebrev 7th Oct 2016		Classical Item Philharmonia Orchestra, London - Das Land Des Lächelns	Sharp eyes, M.Marmelade! The number is 1279168212 in fluorecent red color, but I don't know what it means. Do you know (or someone elso) something more?
keebrev 1st Oct 2016		Classical Item Philadelphia Orchestra - Hungarian Dances (1956)	Link to the 45cat World
keebrev 27th Sep 2016		Classical Item Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Ferenc Fricsay - Tchaikovsky (1954)	Look at this record, and you'll see a M45 triangle on a stereo record. It only indicates a microgroove record, mono or stereo. Here you see a N(ormal) 78 in a retangular box, in the shellac era.
keebrev 27th Sep 2016		Classical Item Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Ferenc Fricsay - Tchaikovsky (1954)	No,no,no, it's not the M of Mono (in 1954 you didn't have Stereophonic records!) , it means Microgroove. I have make the same mistake until 1970, when stereo singles have also the M45 triangle, came usual. Then I knew it didn't mean mono, but I didn't either know what it well meant. In the fifties you had also a Normal groove, for the 78rpm records. Some recordplayers had a flip/turn-over pick-up element, one for the M and the other for the N records. p.s. Mono text on records came in the stereo era, after 1958.
keebrev 27th Sep 2016		Classical Item Kathleen Ferrier - De Onvergetelijke Stem Van Kathleen Ferrier (1986)	The original album was a box set 375 022 XNU. Other records from this serie are from 1968 (even a Dutch release of the Phase 4 Stereo!), so I presume 1968 is the year of this release. The 6745 004 album is a re-issue of this box set in a cheaper gate-folded sleeve; as PhilMH mentioned issued somewhere in the early seventies.
keebrev 25th Sep 2016		Classical Item Bamberger Symphoniker, Artur Rother - Nabucco (1956)	Thanks for the links!
keebrev 24th Sep 2016		Classical Item Clifford Curzon - Grieg: Piano Concerto (1960)	....knownledgeable people.... Well, I'm certainly not, I've got it from here:http://classite.com/music/Decca-lps/decca-sxl-intro.htm. Ahumm... "Plum" sleeve means as dark as Eastern purple?, Well, mines is just as red as yours. The matrix numbers are ZAL-4599-5W and ZAL-4600-7W, exactly the same. The letters are indeed different, you can guess Mr. Curzon complaint about the size of the lettertype. So Decca did make the same lettertype as the title letters.
keebrev 24th Sep 2016		Classical Item Kathleen Ferrier - De Onvergetelijke Stem Van Kathleen Ferrier (1986)	The year 1986 is printed on the inner sleeve. Philips used these labels for every company they issued in the Netherlands. All in Europe? I don't believe so. In Germany Decca was represented by TELefunkenDECca (Teldec).
keebrev 24th Sep 2016		Classical Item Clifford Curzon - Grieg: Piano Concerto (1960)	Here's a better copy of the labels. Did you notice the different labels on each side of the record? The B-side label is what they called a ED2 (English Dark2); the other something in between ED1 and ED2, so I will suppose ED1 1/2. It has the Decca notes on the label just like ED1, but the style is like ED2. Mark the J/T tax code ( a little bit earlier?)
keebrev 21st Sep 2016		Classical Item Kathleen Ferrier - De Onvergetelijke Stem Van Kathleen Ferrier (1986)	Mark the old DECCA logo on the label.
